NF Photo 110130, in Costa Rica

We was visiting a park in CostaRica and I had to go to the bathroom. On the floor this beautiful  butterfly stayed. Looking at the image I see it has patches similar to "mother-of -pearl" Catching the light in an iridescent way.

This is a butterfly I captured during my stay in Copal, Costa Rica in jan-feb 2011. Of course I don´t know what species it is. But I thought we all need something beautiful to look at.

Några fjärilar jag såg i Costa Rica när jag var där i vintras. Den första är nog en sorts Amiral. De andra vet jag inte.
Some butterflies I saw in Costa Rica when I visited the country last winter. The first one might be some kind of Admiral. The others I don´t know. .
